lifhel principal! II was nowhere pro-
ven that either Of the defendants was
guilty OF throwing the murderous
bomb into the Gordon OF policemen Mt
the Haymarket meeting. Their con
vieiion OF this crime was grounded on
the idea. all-peryading and rampant
that these men were accessories TO the
murder Of these policemeni that, by
their writings, editorials and speeches
they inaamed the populace, and in
cited tho commission OF tho crimes,
and were construc!iyely the murder
ers. II these writings and speeches
open and above board-were 80 in.
cenaiary, insidious and snbversive OF
law and order Ms was sought TO DO
proven, il is n little singular that those
who gave them utterance were not
arrested and tried before the induct'
i've crimes were committed. Certain
" there are laws for the punishment
OF those guilty of reasonable utter
ances and an attempt to override, or
induce others TO override, the lawful
authority of the land. The Citizen
holds that these men were guilty OF
crimes agasnst law and order; that
their utterances were OF that incendi-
ary class which wo so often hear in
almost every strike among labor or
CARNATIONS; that their course was IL
legal and wrong, and that they should
have been punished for it: but that
they should have forfeited their lives
we cannot agree.
In the case of Albert r. Parsons
the only American among them-the
denoument is peculiarly harsh. lie
was not present when the bomb was
thrown; it was not proven that he was
accessory to the fact; he was with his
family block from the scene OF The
murders; was away from the city at
the time of the arrests, and, feeling
guiltless of the crime of murder, came
buck, voluntarily surrendered to the
authorities and stood his trial. lie is
descended of illustrious lineage-men
who held high position in the revolu'
tionary war, and shed their blood in
common defense at Bunker Hill. Bat
his brave, misguided spirit has been
inundated upon the altar OF popular
clamor, and passes to the realms OF
shade, while the principal-the real
murderous fend and author OF the
tiouble--escapes justice, and goes

THE SIGNAL OFFICE CROP BULLETIN.
Excessive Rainfall and Cool Wssthor IN
the 6rsatsr Portion OF tho CSunsry-
insvorzb,s Gotten Yea. .her--Frest
Nirs t4e TsGncco crop.

WAsHIssros, Oct. 2-The Signal Office
today received its Las. weekly crop bulistin
until the beginning Of next crop year. The
bulletin issued today says of last week 5
weather: During the week ending October
l the weather has been cooler than usual in
all agricultural districts east OF the Rocky
mountains, the average daily temperature
ranging from three to six degree below
normal in tDe central valleys, EXCEPT from
Virginia 10 Florida, where the temperature
was but slightly below normal. The tenn
perature for the season. from January 10
October 1, was slightly below normal on
the Atlantic coast and from New England
westward to the Missouri Vslley, and ID was
khtly warmer than usual in Ohio and
The Central Mississippi valleys and gener-
ally throughout TIE Southern States, the
average daily excess or deficiency generally
amounting to iessithan two degrees.
The rainfall for the week has been in ex-
cess throughout greater portion of the cot
ton and tobacco regions and over the Win
ter wheat regions, from Ohio westward to
Missouri and Iowa. In the regions that
have suffered most from drought, covering
the greater portion of Illinois, South
ern Indiana, Eastern Iowa and a
greater portion OF Missouri the rainfall for
toe week has been largely in excess. Less
than the usual amount Of rain fell along
the South Atlantic coast, in Northern New
England. Western New York, Nebraska and
The Northern portions of Iowa.
During the week the weather has been
favorable for the harvesting OF cotton in the
States west of the Mississippi and in the
extreme western part of the cotton
region, while cold weather and
heavy rains have affected thi,
and other growing crops unfavorAbly
in Mississippi. Frost occurred in the north
portion of the tobacco region of the Ohio
Valley and along the Atlantic coast as far
south es Virginia which probably resulted
in some injury to the crop.
Rains. which have occufaed during the
week in the Winter wheat region. will
prove of especial value, as the sowing OF
wheat has bsen delayed in many sections
owing to the continuance of the drouth.

M'GARiGLE'S BONDSMEN
Ready to Prove That He is Still IN
Hall.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Ihirteen reasons are
given why a Judgment for $4,000 should
not be entered against Ernst J. Lehman
and James Fitzsinmons for the forfeited
ecBds Of w. J. NcGsrigie They are set
forth with great particnlarity in twenty
tvo documents tnat were filed
With the Clerk of the Criminal Court
yeeterdsT. IL is asserted that
McGarigie was voluntarily surrendered on
June 1891 ss7, into the custody of the Sher-
III, and that the surrender Was sccepted and
acknowledged BY him, and by that means
they were discharged as sureties on the
supposed recognizanoe and that the body Of
McGGrigle was from thzt time on IN the
keeping and custody of the Criminal Court
of Cook county.
In one paragraph the remarkable dsclara-
ton is maoe that the body OF McGsrigle is
still in the County Jail. Here is part
of it:
William }. ucGarigle, the principal in
the supposed recogaizance. was on the lStn
day OF June. 1887, seized and taken from
the care, custody, and keepsng of the
said defendants, Lehmsun and FiIzsinons,
and lodged in ;be common jsil of Cook
county by the order and Judgment of the
Criminal Court Of Cook county. And the
said defendants further aver that the said
William j. McGarigle has ever since re-
NAMED and still is in the common Jail Of
Cook county aforesaid. And this the de-
PENDANTS impleaded are ready to verify"
The other reasons detailed are the more
formal pleas used in such bills. The twenty
two bills 6led correspond to the twenty
two bonds forfeited, and are in all respects
exactly similar
